Today in Isaiah chapter 30 we read about blessings for God’s people! You’ll notice in verses 12 and 15 the term “Holy One of Israel” is used for God. An interesting thing to note about this term “Holy One of Israel” is that it occurs a total of 26 times in the book of the prophet Isaiah – and only 6 times elsewhere in the rest of the Old Testament! (I think it is such a beautiful term – maybe in part because my church sings a wonderful song occasionally w/ these lyrics: “For I am the Lord your God. The Holy One of Israel. Your Savior. I am the Lord – do not fear – I am the Lord”. Anyone else’s church sing this song?) Some scholars over history have challenged whether the entire 66 chapters of the book of Isaiah were really all written by the same person, Isaiah. Well, the continuity of the use of the term “Holy One of Israel” throughout the book has been the strongest argument for the unity of the book of Isaiah.
